The pretty little town of Callander, with its wonderful central location in spectacular Trossachs scenery, has long been a popular destination for visitors to Scotland, set within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, with nearby Loch Earn, Loch Katrine, Loch Lomond and the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, yet only 11 miles from the motorway and just over an hour's drive from Edinburgh (50m) and Perth (45m).
In a quiet situation, yet within easy walking distance of the town centre, is Heatherlyn Cottage, a charming, traditional stone-built, mid-terraced and extremely well-appointed cottage with its own small attractive garden (gas BBQ & furniture) and outstanding views of Callander Crags and Ben Ledi. There is free off street parking about 50 yards from the cottage.
Both the sitting room and the kitchen/dining room have large picture windows to the front, and there is also a pleasant sun room. The double bedroom upstairs has an en suite shower room, and there is a further double bedroom, with additional single bed and bathroom.
This is a lovely place for walking, exploring or simply relaxing in such comfortable surroundings. Ben Ledi, Ben Vorlich, Ben Venue and Ben Vane are all within easy reach for hill walkers, or there are plenty of less challenging hikes and cycle routes around the town itself. There is sailing and wind surfing on Loch Earn (14m) and riding is available locally.
Children will enjoy a visit to the Safari Park at Blair Drummond (11m), while their parents might want to visit the Scottish Antiques Centre more or less next door.
A short drive north takes you to famous Rob Roy Country near Balquidder from where it is an easy and scenic drive across to the west coast at Oban (70m). Branching right at Tyndrum, you can head off across lonely Rannoch Moor to Glencoe (60m) and Fort William. Really, this is a superb central location for enjoying the best that Scotland has to offer.
The cottage is double glazed. Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are all INCLUDED. One well behaved pet is welcome by arrangement. Sorry, no smoking within the cottage.
